Score!!!
The record store here jacks prices up a lot, at any rate... Right now, DdN is $60... last time I was there, it was $44...
And the dude kind of tries to bullshit you, he claimed that the price [of Daydream] will only go up now, because it's a limited run... errrrr.... no, man, it isn't.

Dude, you need to pick me up a copy of this $19 Nevermind... I will totally send you all the money for it and shipping, not to mention all my love.

I would if I could, but I didn't see any other copies.

I hate bullshitting record store owners. About a year ago one tried to tell me that this was the last month any new releases were coming out on vinyl because of oil prices. The next 11 months proved him wrong, of course. They still came out, but then of course he used the oil-excuse to jack his prices up--even while the other store in town stayed consistently at the lower prices. What a jerk.

Sorry about that. The store's hard to get to, too. I have to drive thru shitty traffic about 30 minutes at least.

Meaning, I can't just run over and check to let you know, much as I wish I could help you out.

Gone are the good old days when I worked just down the block from a store. But I have to say the stores around here are so much better stocked with new vinyl than the ones in Iowa City, and I didn't think they did a bad job at all.

The last record I bought was an LP replacement for my old copy of White Light/White Heat that got cracked. Before that it was 4 Violins by Tony Conrad. It rocks. The last CD I bought was Sound Grammar by Ornette Coleman which is the best new record I've heard in years (other than The Alarm Clocks LP). Not a lot of people I know bought it and it's their loss. Amazing that a 75 year old man could make such fresh, inventive music. Of course, FE doesn't carry it which is another reason you should Boycott them.
